What is happening

Pilsen 2015 and the Aspen Institute Prague invite you to the third edition of the OPEN UP! Conference that will take place on 9 and 10 June 2016 at the DEPO2015 Creative Zone in Pilsen. This year's theme will be the Evaluation of the Benefits and Impacts of the Pilsen – European Capital of Culture 2015 Project.

On 12th December, the eleven-month-long European Capital of Culture programme officially came to an end. In total, including the difficult preparatory phase, the project has lasted for seven years. Hundreds of participants, local and foreign partners and institutions alike, have taken part, and hundreds of thousands of tourists have been lured to the city. The prestigious European brand for which many cities compete for several years in advance has brought with it the expected positive effects.

Music legends and progressive names of the European contemporary scene, combined with the inimitable atmosphere of an industrial environment, will be on offer at Rock for People Europe in one month time. Throw in the comfort of a city festival, and you’ve got the idea.
